The BarthOldi Fountain Playing.

PRETTY SIGHT IN THE BOTANICAL GROUNDS-THE
TALK OF MOVING THE FOUNTAIN.
The Bartholdi fountain was playing all day
yesterday. The bright sunshine was making
rainbows In its merry little jets Of spray. It. has
been dry so long that 1t was surprise to see It
spouting. But much Of It's beauty was wasted,
being hid away behind the high fence and foliage
of the Botanical Garden. There have been many
much out OF sight and because the water was
never allowed to how through it. Mr.. Smith. the
superintendent Of the garden, told STAR reporter
that tine reason IL was DOT permitted to play at all
times was that II wasted so much water that IL
was felt In deprivation on Capitol Hill. He went
upon the theory that the people who paid for water
and wanted 1t for sanitary purposes should be sup
piled before IL was wasted for ornament. Just
now, however, there was plenty OF water and not
as much used as al other times, SO that he had
thought that they could afford to let the fountain
play on until IL was time TO Dank II for the winter
He said II would be his purpose In the future to
have the fountain play only on public holidays and
sucn special occasions, except occasionally, as
now, wnen the water was plentiful. The lamps
are not lighted at night because the electric lights
suggested that electric burners in the places OF the
lamps would lend an additional effectiveness to the
fountain Mr.. Smith said he did not think there
Was any serious notion OF moving the fountain
from where IL now stands. People who wanted It
near their houses, he said, occasionally declared
was anything 10 such talk He did not think II
would do TO put 1t closer to the Capitol 1t would
be dwarfed, and he did not know, he said. of q
better place for II than where IL stands. lie did
not approve at all OF the proposition TO place IL
where the Peace Monument stands. That site, he
Thought, ought TO De occupied by a statue or Lin
coin, 70 correspond With that Of Garfield at 1st
street and Maryland avenue
